Walla Walla- home of onions and wine. And wine made from onions.

I live in WW now. I'm surprised to see how many folks are on here from Eastern/ Central WA. Cool!

I used to live in Spokane. There's a program called "Running Start" in Washington. It allows high school Juinors and Seniors to attend classes at community college. It can result in a student graduating with an AA and a high school diploma, if done correctly. If not, they still get college credits.

I think Central Valley High School is a solid school in Spokane Valley. Stay out of Spokane proper for schools. Most of them are not very good academically.

If you don't mind living east of town, Liberty Lake is a nice community with a good school system.

If you want to send your kids to a private school, Gonzaga Prep is a great school. It's Catholic, though. But, academically, it's the best in the area, IMO.

I can't answer about seminary- I wasn't a member when I was living there so I don't have knowledge about that.

I have been to Walla Walla. Haven't been back...

Curious to know why the original "poster" was leaving the Tri-cities area. I'm currently in the Denver area and looking to relocate but I've heard it's always gloomy in Spokane. Any advice? thanks!!
